Re: [ANN] Lua 5.3.0 (work2) now available

[Dirk Laurie <dirk.laurie@...>]

In §3.4.3, the manual says: "There is no direct conversion from strings
to integers: If a string is provided where an integer is needed, Lua
converts the string to a float and then the float to an integer." It may
forestall some queries if somewhere near this statement, some
reference is made to `tonumber`, which does convert directly to
integers when possible.
